About SCORE Houston

Matches aspiring entrepreneurs with experienced business mentors for free, confidential coaching across 62 industries.

The program serves the greater Houston area with walk-in hours available in Sharpstown. You can meet with mentors either in person or online, making it accessible regardless of your location across the city.

Small businesses create jobs in our neighborhoods and strengthen local commercial districts, which benefits the whole community through more employment and increased city services. When local entrepreneurs succeed, money stays in Houston and our economy grows stronger.

You can request a mentor through their website or visit during walk-in hours Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM. SCORE welcomes everyone regardless of background or ability to pay, and all mentoring is completely free and confidential.
